Americans usually opt for practicality. But here, a tunnel in Baltimore stretching two and a half kilometers is meticulously lined with 15×15 tile on both sides, just like in bathrooms. Of course, it’s understandable that since it’s an underwater tunnel, there’s a similarity to a bathroom, but it’s insanely expensive and complicated. Normally in such cases, they would just use plain concrete and not bother. Yet here, they installed eight million tiles, which took two years and 200 workers dealing solely with tiling. It’s claimed that this makes the tunnel brighter, enhancing safety. But we know better!
